From August 28th to 30th the former VEB Leuchtenbau opens its doors to the public. Within the special ambiance of the old factory buildings, that will be redesigned by famous artists in the two weeks before, the visitors will see unique art. Graffiti, street-art and installings are the artistic forms of expression thereby - the men of action come from Germany and Europe. Among this group are counted the artist STUKA from Hamburg City, Loomit or emil one, for some names. They all find authenticiation in the scene and »they will find their way to involve the present conditions like old installings, engine parts, cable looms or windows. And they understand the gaming and experimantation with the uncommen architecture.« The truth behind these words of the Graffiti artist Tasso, whose hometown is Meerane and who is the creative head behind the IBUg, should visitors check on the ground.
The best season in the year is starting to end and the last days of summer can hardly be used better than with visiting a festival like IBUg2008!
